Description

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (International Pictures Corp.,
1949). First Post-War Release Italian 2 - Fogli (39.25" X 55")
Paolo Tarquini Artwork.
The first in a series of creature crossover films, this Universal
classic teamed up two of the biggest names in horror, Lon Chaney
Jr. and Bela Lugosi, to much studio fanfare and audience
excitement. Chaney returns to his signature role of werewolf Larry
Talbot, a part he would play a total of five times over the course
of his career, and Lugosi finally dons the Frankenstein Monster
makeup for his first and last time. Featuring Paolo Tarquini's
bright artwork of the battling creatures, this Heritage first has
some small fold separations, a smudge in the Wolf Man's image, and
light toning in the borders and folds. There is a noticeable split
at the lower vertical fold that has been repaired with archival
tape on the verso, and the borders show pinholes, foxing, and small
tears. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.
